Very good tip and thanks for the great content. Can you also use this image editing technique in Camera RAW?

Thank you , It is a great knowledge 👍

Glad you like it

[@oddinsena4217]

can you sync this to multiple photos?

[@keithsimpson8676]

Glynn have you tried using this technique to adjust colour cast in landscape photos? It might work.

[@glyndewis]

I've got a different one for doing a global fix on an entire scene mate which works by finding the neutral grey 👍🏻

[@jdqc]

Very nice and thank you for tips. I know it is a bit more work for you but when you are using LRC it will be nice if you can show the same process in LC. Sometimes the options are not the same place or available. I do not like LRC because it is much more resources intensives and complex to manage files etc. Love LC for ease of management.

[@glyndewis]

The process for this is identical in Lightroom Desktop 👍🏻

[@drumprof]

Glyn...How do I download the preset into LR? Loved this btw!

[@glyndewis]

Glad you liked it. Once you've downloaded it, just double click to 'unzip' the file and then you'llsee the preset. In Lightroom go to the Develop Module and the presets. Click on the + icon and choose Import Preset 👍🏻

[@drumprof]

@@glyndewis Thank you Glyn!

[@natehudsonmedia]

Can you show us how to do this in LR? I don't use LRC. I also primarily use my ipad as the apple pencil is such a natural tool. Thanks.

[@glyndewis]

It’s the same method in Lightroom Desktop

[@natehudsonmedia]

@@glyndewis I guess my point is I work through my ipad.... It's absolutely ridiculous that Adobe is holding certain functions that are clearly able to work from the ipad. But if you could find a workflow that works well with ipad, i'd be grateful. I know you can convert each of the types of person selections you'd usually have in desktop to adaptive presets. So that workaround exists. But the point color with the ability to change the ranges I just am not sure how to translate that to the ipad. All in all, I could do all my skin tones with other workflows I have previously used, But it would be nice to have something simpler such as this but on my ipad.

[@matthewroddy1]

Good info. Thanks! But... if there's a global color shift, why correct only skin tones? Artistic choice? Leave the green cast on everything except skin?

[@glyndewis]

Sometimes you don't notice that there is a color shift; it looks good apart from on the skin so this allows ytou to fix just that one are ... or simply reduce it on the skin and not remove completely. IF all of the colour is off then a glbal colour correction would be best followed by a skin tone fix 'IF' necessary.

[@matthewroddy1]

@@glyndewis Nice. Thank you.

[@davidf6326]

I'm probably oversimplifying things here, but I do wonder why photo editing software can't include a skin tone equivalent of white balance. In the same way as white balance doesn't always give a perfect result, I accept further tweaks might be needed, but I would have thought a skin tone balance auto-adjustment could help get things in the right ball park.

[@glyndewis]

I'm with you there but for now we need to have techniqures such as this 👍🏻

[@Tommybena]

I even wrote to ADOBE various times, almost supplicant for a capture one skin tones scope equivalent....

[@davidf6326]

@@Tommybena Hi Tommy. So Capture One does already have a feature similar to that which I'm suggesting for Lightroom?

[@richardnugent7035]

How about doing a session on brown-skinned subjects (all shades)?

[@glyndewis]

Sounds good to me ; will be a good one to add into the Newsletter Subscriber Private page 👍🏻

[@chazM6116]

My first question would be why are the colours so wrong in the first place? Do you not produce a camera colour profile for the lighting you're taking the portrait in? Still a good tutorial for correcting ANY colour.

[@glyndewis]

The examples here are done to clearly show how it works. In these examples they have all been colour graded and this is being used to correct the skin afterwards.

[@chazM6116]

@@glyndewis just been to try out this as a friend had a photo that looked wrong BUT in ACR 16.4.0.1906 there is NO visulize range so opening LrC13.4 I try it but clicking on it does not show the grey unless there's a setting in preferences? OPS jus seen there are TWO point colour sowing top one is for unmasked I think bottom one for mask very confusing

[@martinfunke4555]

To be honest: I don't understand, why you use the pointer at all. If in the end, you affect all colors in your face-mask, you wouldn't need that pointer. You can simply create a face-mask and than shift hue, saturation and tone as you like. Or do I miss something??? ;-) Anyway: your tutorial is very helpful, because sometimes you don't want do influence the whole face but only parts of it, for example red-magenta cheeks. And than your idea is a perfect way to correct that. I didn' know that you can use the pointer in a mask, so your video helped me a lot. Thank you very much for that!!!

[@glyndewis]

Glad it's helpful. The reason for using Point Color is because immediuatelt when you use it you are targetting the area you want and then expanding it either side. This is like using Hue/Saturation in Photoshop , using a colour from the drop down and refining the targetted area.
